Please join us in welcoming Constance “Lee” Nester, LPES to our team! Lee comes to us after transitioning from a previous career as a school psychologist. She specializes in Autism spectrum evaluations. We are excited to have her expertise on our team at Seagrass.

Bio: Hi there, I’m Lee Nester—a licensed psychoeducational specialist (LPES) with over 15 years of experience as a school psychologist. I earned my B.S. in Psychology from the College of Charleston and my M.A. in Psychology and Ed.S. in School Psychology from The Citadel Graduate College, in Charleston, SC.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with students of all ages across a wide range of learning profiles and needs—including autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. I’m passionate about helping individuals better understand themselves: what makes them thrive, where they may face challenges, and how they can build on their strengths to advocate for their needs and reach their potential.

At the heart of my work is a genuine love for connecting with people. Whether I’m conducting assessments, consulting with families, or supporting educational planning, I aim to create a space that’s collaborative, encouraging, and rooted in each person’s unique story.

Lee is accepting new patients with SC Medicaid and Aetna insurance for psychological testing of suspected neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism, Learning Disorders, and/or ADHD. She is also serving in the capacity of psychometrist assisting Dr. Anderson with evaluations.

Bio: Jackie Griffing is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 29 years of experience supporting children and their families as a certified school counselor through the challenges and changes that come about. She specializes in helping children with transition, grief, anxiety, and emotional regulation, offering a compassionate, client-centered approach utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and counseling through play. Her work in the school system has given her experience with ADHD, behavior plans, motivational and mindfulness training, emotional regulation, conflict management, and other childhood issues.

families as they deal with crisis or concerns.

Jackie earned her Ed.S from the University of South Carolina. She focused on learning
counseling with play techniques in order to reach younger children and help them to find their voice.

She believes in empowering clients to build resilience and make meaningful changes in their lives.

Jackie has recently retired from being a school counselor and is looking forward to new
adventures helping children and families in a different setting.

Join us in welcoming Leigh Kirkland to the team! She is coming to us from GA with a wealth of experience. Excited to have her expertise on the team!

Leigh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Leigh works with individuals/couples/families to address ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and personality disorders as well as grief, life changes, and stress through the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness and play therapy techniques with a client/solution focused approach.

As a military daughter, sister, and granddaughter, I have experienced firsthand the unique challenges that come with military life. My family was stationed at Fort Stewart before we settled in Statesboro. I went on to complete my undergraduate degree in Child Psychology at Kaplan University and earned my Master's in Counseling from Wake Forest University. Since 2016, I have dedicated my career to working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I achieved my LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in 2021.

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

I love working with clients that struggle with finding solutions or are seeking coping skills to manage parts of their lives that are difficult. I value the importance of family and community, and I bring these values into my practice. I believe in the power of connection and the strength that comes from supportive relationships.

Leigh provides counseling services for patients with Aetna, Tricare, and offers self-pay options. Leigh is a certified non-network provider with Tricare. She is working on applications with various insurance companies to affiliate with Seagrass (BCBS, UHC, SC Medicaid) and in the meantime is able to provide a superbill to any patient who would like to access her services using out-of-network benefits. She is accepting new child (age 4+), adult, couple and family patient at this time.
